RE: My night in the luxurious ICE HOTEL in SWEDEN
Hi @janashby , thank you very much for your words. I'm intrigued. Where did you live? What was your experience with staying in the cold? X

Hi back. Yea, I live in No. Dakota ! Gets quite cold indeed, here.
So... when you said, "A gentle lady wakes be up in the morning with a cup full of delicious hot lingonberry juice. She is the only reason I can get out of bed", I REALLY RELATED! Ha.
Then too - as you remarked, "My steps on the snow are the only noise I can hear".. well, it is very #peaceful when I am in my yard shoveling snow. Nary a sound is heard. And there aren't any birds around in winter -- whereas their Lovely sounds may be heard in Spring/Summer.
Finally, when u commented that "it seems that there is also another gravity here" -- I think I relate on this, because on the cold days if I am workin' it can feel "heavy" as I move. *It's more of an effort.
Capish?
Any thoughts?
Thank you so much for putting so much care into reading.
This means a lot to me. I'm not a native speaker and your analysis made me feel like a tiny poet.
I will spend this winter in the cold in the US. I'm wondering which silence is waiting for me there. Have you ever walked over a frozen lake? This was for me one of these remarkable experiences of silence. It feels like every little noise you do is echoing in the whole lake.
But it also still feels counterintuitive for me to go to a place that is colder than England in the winter. Strange.
But I start falling in love with the pale countrysides :-)

I have been on a Frozen lake -- as an ice skater. This is something which I did a lot of in OHIO (in the Midwest/Northern part of the United States).
One of my favorite experiences ever; largely because of the quiet, the PEACE, the solitude ! Ah, it seems as though we're on the same wavelength as far as this goes (seeking out .. the peace & quiet).
I am so glad to have met you, Elena. (Kindred spirits)
I am following you now, so we can keep up on what's going on.
It's kind of Neat that you're coming here, to the U.S.
